I came across this question in Alex Mandossians blog which really caught my attention. I like his stuff so if you want more of his thinking go to www.alexmandossian.com for more.

Anyway, his blog got me to challenge myself in terms of how I spend my time. I would define myself as an entrepreneur since I make my living entirely through my own efforts, which is my choice.

Dr F Batmanghedlidj has written numerous books on the benefits of drinking the correct type of water to the overall wellbeing of our bodies. In his book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water: You are Not Sick, You are Thirsty! he tells the story of a man, John Fox, who suffered from severe hypertension. He was so bad, that after 6 months of intensive treatment with prescribed drugs, he was worse than when he started and he was getting no answers. He decided to take matters into his own hands and out of the hands of "traditional" medicine.

He embarked on a rehabilitation program where he used diet and water as the core of his rehabilitation. He began by drinking six to eight 8 ounce glasses of water each day for 3 days. He also started taking water half an hour before each meal. Very quickly - and it was just days -  he started to notice the difference. Before long he started to eliminate  his anti-cholesterol pills, aspirin and nitroglycerine pills. Can you imagine how good he was feeling without all these chemicals flowing through his body? For John it was truly incredible - particularly after all the "treatment" he was getting in hospitals only succeeded in making him feel worse! All this progress from a regime set out by Dr Batmanghelidj.

Just finished reading a disturbing but fascinating book "Selling Sickness: How the World's Biggest Pharmaceutical Companies are Turning us all into Patients" by Ray Monahan and Alan Cassels.

Read the quote below from an asthma sufferer to see how she discovered that not all water is the same, and the powerful effect on our bodies of drinking the right water - it enables our bodies to do what it is capable of. If we keep our bodies properly hydrated and properly alkanised, then the body can perform what we would call "miracles" but, if our bodies could talk, our body would say it is just doing it's job!!!

"My family has been drinking Kangen water for 1 year. Both myself and my 10 year old son suffer from asthma and require an inhome nebulizer as well as steroid medications and rescue inhalers. After just 2 months on the water both of us are asthma and allergy free taking no medications in 10 months! It really is amazing and I share this with so many people, especially children....they are all having the same results."

NY have recognised the terrible damage that soft drinks are doing to our children and the frightening growth in obesity among our future leaders that they are considering putting a tax to curb the spend. This would be a major move against the major soft drinks firms who have tremendous power in terms of their spending power. It does, however, confirm what we already know - these drinks are making our children obese, and we know they are highly acidic beverages which allows diseases to thrive in our systems. We must stop our future generation from poisoning themselves and we must encourage them to drink the right fluids.
